The Jets would have been shut-out if not for linebacker Darrell McClover’s 26 yard return of a blocked punt in the 4th quarter.  The Jets offense was terrible, but at least Chad Pennington returned and left the game intact.  Pennington completed 11 of 20 passes for 125 yards and a pick-off.  Kellen Clemens then entered the game and was completely overmatched.  Clemens only completed 3 of 11 passes for 24 yards and a pick-off, he did scramble twice for 15 yards.  The Jets only completed 45.2% of their passes for 110 net yards.  The Jets only ran the ball 19 times for 74 yards (3.9 ypc).

The defense of the Jets just couldn’t get off the field.  The defense actually played pretty well, but were at a huge disadvantage because of their own inept offense that couldn’t put any drives together.  The Jets defense was on the field for 36:28 of the game.  The Giants rushed for 138 yards against the Jets, but only averaged 3.5 ypc.  The Giants only completed 53.1% of their passes for a net of 155 yards.

The good defensive effort was wasted by the Jets inept offense.
